Lankum - Ghost Town 12" Vinyl with Etching

12'' - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Black Vinyl.

Rough Trade Records are excited to announce a new stand-alone single by Lankum. Originally created for an Oona Doherty dance show Specky Clark at Sadlers Well earlier this year, the single is a devastatingly powerful and otherworldly interpretation of The Specials 1981 number one Ghost Town.

Ghost Town will be released on 12 vinyl format in Jan 2026 featuring an elaborate etching on the b-side.

Lankum explain how the track came about; Ghost Town came to us through some curious circumstances. Oona Doherty, who we were familiar with through her phenomenal dance work on the video for Gilla Bands Shoulderblades, contacted us and told us about a new show she was putting together. It was about her great-great-grandfather being sent to Belfast as a child to live with his aunts and work in an abattoir. She wanted a new piece of music for the show, for a party scene set on Halloween night,
